If the semicolon is omitted, then the pragma modifies the declaration or statement that immediately follows it, in this case the class bla.
But it would appear from the spec that pragma(lib) is valid only on its own. It is indeed absurd that it behaves as it does, but in reality (AIUI) it shouldn't compile at all.
